"This new Church that is the Essene Christian Church is a veritable temple, where everything is connected to higher worlds, where all the answers are brought, really, all the way to touching the earth. Through this Church, we take position on the way we see the world: there is no life without solidarity and we must be respectful of all beings, of all kingdoms."

In the autumn of 2012, the Essene Nation takes a decisive turn that will change the course of its history: it becomes a religion in its own right and presents itself officially as the Essene Christian Church. Through his title of bishop obtained from the Church of Antioch in 1990, Olivier indeed holds the legitimacy to found a Church and consecrate priests. Thus, the Essenia Foundation transforms itself into a Church and asserts its rights.

It must be known that a Quebec Essene, Suzette Kurtness, had bought a small Christian church in Birchton, a small village situated a few kilometres from the Village of the Maple Tree. Indeed, the Village wanted to have its own cemetery and it had to satisfy the requirement of the provincial law stipulating that every cemetery must be associated with a church. It is this purchase that opened new perspectives for the Essene Nation, which came to present itself as the Essene Christian Church. But it must also be known that the Archangels had been speaking in this direction for two years. During the seminar of autumn 2012, Olivier Manitara offered the church of Birchton to Archangel Michael.

"In Quebec, our first church is being renovated. It is much work, but it is enthusing to work for the house of God.

Parallel to this renewal, I announce to you that the name of the Essenia Foundation is going to change to Essene Christian Church. Thus, we will be able to take back our life in hand, our destiny and reappropriate our tradition, our culture and our way of being in the world.

What we are building, it is a work greater than death, it is the body of Christ on earth, it is our own body in worlds greater than the mortal body.

Through this Church, all our works are going to be an offering to God in purity and truth and before all the Angels.

The word 'Church' must be understood in the sense of 'house of God.' This house is the assembly of those who gather together and constitute together a sacred circle to open a space to the Divinity in life. It is a circle of prayer and of invocation. When God comes into the circle, the assembly is nourished, illuminated, strengthened."

"Now, we are preparing ourselves, quite naturally, to take a step and to approach, together, what we are eternally: religious people, Children of the Light.

Religion is our land, our family, our life, for we love the mystery of God in life."

The Essene Christian Church is not an assembly of believers, but of students, of beings who want to study, understand and awaken the light of knowledge inside them, the fire of love, the force of creativity to set down a harmonious future. In this circle, all beings and all kingdoms are invited. It is a circle of prayer, of study, of devotion in the forces of the Light.

"Thus, the role of our Church is to protect God in our assembly, that is to say the invisible, and the alliance with the Angels. Not only must God be protected, but He must be honoured. By protecting God, we protect ourselves and all beings. It is the role of Religion to maintain open the path of God for all. After the protection of God, we must bring protection to all the children of the earth: humanity, the animals, the plants and the minerals.

Our religion is animistic. Everything is filled with soul, for everything is alive and filled with God. It is this healing and this blessing of love that we must bring to all those who will want to approach us to receive clarifications, relief and help.

My friends of Light, we are at the doors of beauty and of the sublime work on earth."

The church of Birchton is inaugurated on January 5, 2013 and it will open its doors in the month of June of the same year.

The birth of the Essene Christian Church has been placed under the auspices of the Virgin Mary, the one who gave birth to the Light on earth. This will enable many Essenes to find their way and to commit themselves on the path of the pastorate.

The Essene Christian Church becomes a place of prayer, of worship, of culture, of mutual support, of education and of blessing open to all beings. This structure is the perfect Church, the teaching and the presence of God on earth. It is the work of God Himself.

The Essene Christian religion has for goal to heal all the false conceptions by bringing back the breath of the Light that has been lost, by healing the very concept of "religion." This rebirth of the universal religion brings the Light into all traditions.

A sumptuous ceremony of great beauty sets its magical writing upon each pastor so as to consecrate him, under the authority of Wilfrid Amwane, named First Pastor of the Essene Christian Church.

"We are setting down the foundations of this new religion to open to future generations a path towards the divine world. A religion is a great responsibility. We are not working for ourselves, but for the entire world.

If there is no religion that maintains itself in the alliance of Light to unite the earth and the heaven through consecrated priests, no man can go towards God."

The role of Religion is to unite all religions in God through the seven days of Creation, which are obviously not days, but luminous manifestations that have given the great hierarchy of creation: the first luminous manifestation was the world of the Gods, the second that of the Archangels, then the world of the Angels, those of men, of animals, of plants and of minerals. Religion must bring a great lightness and an open world in all these worlds so that the earth of Light appears in the reality of all beings.
